  • the output signal K shows a "0" level only when the machining current I is flowing in the gap 5.
  • the control circuit 24 comprises a first pulse generator 41, which supplies a gate pulse signal GP1 when one of the pairs of switching transistors 22A and 22D or 22B and 22C is on. Voltage pulses from the direct current power supply 21 are supplied to the machining gap 5 in response to a "1" level signal GP1.
  • the pulse signal GP1 indicates a "0" level for only the duration TM immediately after the level of signal K has changed from a "1" to a "0.”
  • Data Doff which indicate the duration TM, is applied externally to the first pulse generator 41.
  • the pulse signal GP1 is supplied to AND gates 42, 43, and 51, and to an output 44A of a one-shot multivibrator 44.
  • the one-shot multivibrator 44 responds to the change in the pulse signal GP1 level from “1" to "0,” and supplies a "1" level pulse signal having a time width W at an output 44B thereof.
  • a pulse signal from the one-shot multivibrator 44 is supplied to the input pin T of a T flip-flop 46 through an OR gate 45, the level at output pin Q on the T flip-flop 46 is switched.
  • the T flip-flop 46 switches its internal state..
  • the T flip-flop 46 output pin Q is connected to the AND gate 42 through an inverter 47, and also to the AND gate 43.
  • the output signal S1 of the AND gate 43 is fed to the pair of switching transistors 22A and 22D, and the output signal S2 of the AND gate 42 is fed to the pair of switching transistors 22B and 22C.
  • the control circuit 24 further comprises a binary counter 48, which supplies two-digit data KD indicating the total number of clock pulses transmitted from a clock pulse generator (not shown).
  • a comparator 49 compares the two digit data KD received at the input pin A with the two-digit data Dr received at the input pin B. The data Dr determines the duration TW of the high frequency voltage pulse.
  • the level of the T flip-flop 46 output pin Q is switched. In other words, the level of the T flip-flop 46 output pin Q is switched each interval TW.
  • control circuit 24 and the second pulse generator 13 shown in FIG. 1 is explained below with reference to FIGS. 3(A), 3(B), 3(C), 3(D), 3(E), 3(F), 3(G), 3(H), and 3(I).
  • Steps S100 to S170 in FIG. 5 depict the operation of the control circuit 24.
  • step S100 when the Q output of the T flip-flop 44 illustrated in FIG. 3(G) indicates a "0" level at time t0, the process advances to step S110.
  • step S110 as illustrated in FIG. 3(I) and FIG. 3(H), at time t0 the AND gate 42 output signal S2 is at a "1" level and the AND gate 43 output signal a "0" level.
  • the switching transistors 22B and 22C are on, and 22A and 22D are off and, as illustrated in FIG. 3(D), straight polarity voltage pulses are applied to the gap 5.
  • step S120 When the first pulse generator 41 receives a signal K indicating a "1" level at step S120, which is to say when no electrical discharge is being generated at the gap 5, the process advances to step S130.
  • step S140 the T flip-flop 46 output pin Q level is at a "1" in step S100, so the process advances to step S112.
  • step S112 as illustrated in FIG. 3(I) and 3(H), at time t1 the AND gate 42 output signal S1 is at a "0" level and the AND gate 43 output signal S1 shows a "1" level. Therefore at this time switching transistors 22A and 22D are on, and switching transistors 22B and 22C are off, and reverse polarity voltage pulses are applied to the gap 5.
  • FIG. 3(D) the polarity of the voltage pulses applied to the gap 5 changes at times t1, t2, t3, and t4 until electrical discharge occurs.
  • the level of the T flip-flop 46 output pin Q changes from "1" to "0.”
  • step S150 when the level of signal K changes from “1” to “0” at time t5 in step S120, the process advances to steps S150 and S160.
  • step S150 as shown in FIG. 3(C), at time t5 the pulse signal GP1 level changes from “1” to "0".
  • the pulse signal GP1 is at a "0" level, and the output signals S1 and S2 for the AND gates 43 and 44 respectively, are also at a "0" level. Therefore all of the switching transistors 22A, 22B, 22C, and 22D are off during the inactive period TM from time t5 to time t7, and the direct current power supply 21 is cut off from the gap 5.
  • step S160 the one-shot multivibrator 44 supplies its output signal to the input pin T of the T flip-flop 46, so the output pin Q thereof changes from “0" to “1” level.
  • step S170 as illustrated in FIG. 3(C)
  • the pulse signal GP1 level changes from "0" to "1”.
  • the T flip-flop 46 output pin Q level is at a "1" level at time t7, and the AND gate 43 causes a "1" level signal GP1 to be passed through as the signal S1.
  • step S160 The technical significance of step S160 is that the polarity of the voltage pulse supplied from direct current power supply 21 at time t7 is caused to be the reverse of the voltage pulse polarity supplied between times t4 and t5. The electrolytic effect is thus suppressed by the voltage pulse first applied to the gap 5 after the end of electrical discharge, irrespective of the length of electrical discharge wait time.
  • the one-shot multivibrator 44 causes the T flip-flop 46 output Q level to change as soon as electrical discharge is detected, but the T flip-flop 46 output Q level may also be changed during the pulse signal GP1 inactive period TM.
  • Steps S200 to S230 in FIG. 5 depict the operation of the second pulse generator 13.
  • the second pulse generator 13 output signal GP2 level changes at step S210 from “0" to "1,” and as a result the switching transistor 12 is turned on.
  • the pulse signal GP2 again shows a "0" level at time t6, after a time TN has elapsed following its change from "0" to "1.”
  • the switching transistor 12 turns off in response to a "0" level signal GP2 in step S230.
  • FIGS. 4(A), 4(B), 4(C), 4(D), and 4(E) are timing charts respectively illustrating the voltage Vgap and the current I flowing at the machining gap.
  • FIGS. 4(B), 4(C), and 4(D) are timing charts respectively illustrating switching transistor control signals GP2, S1, and S2.
  • application of the direct current power supply 21 voltage pulses begins at times ta, tc, and te, and electrical discharge begins at times tb, td, and tf.
  • Some time is required to detect the occurrence of electrical discharge, so the pulse signal GP2 level changes from “0" to "1” after a slight delay following the start of electrical discharge, as illustrated in FIG. 4(D).
  • the pulse signal GP1 level changes from "1" to "0” after a slight delay following the start of electrical discharge.
  • the pulse signal GP1 is supplied to one pair of switching transistors 22A and 22D through the AND gate 42 as the signal S2; when the output Q indicates a "0" level, the pulse signal GP1 is supplied to the other pair of switching transistors 22B and 22C as the signal S2, passing through the AND gate 42.
  • the voltage pulse from the direct current power supply 21 has a duration of 1 to 100 _sec. As is illustrated in FIGS. 4(B) and 4(C), the signals S1 and S2 are continuously alternately applied. As a result, as is shown in FIG.
  • a voltage pulse of one polarity is applied alternately with a voltage pulse of the opposite polarity to the gap 5 from the direct current power supply 21. Therefore electrolytic effects are suppressed by the first voltage pulse supplied by the direct current power supply 21 after electrical discharge ends, irrespective of the length of the electrical discharge waiting period. Furthermore, the switching transistors 22A, 22B, 22C, and 22D all turn off after electrical discharge is detected, so the machining current I does not flow from the machining current supply 10. Therefore efficient machining current I is supplied to the gap.
